Diego,
  The assumption is that this is a unit impulse in the IRF or OIRF
But if the variables in the VAR or VECM have different scales, you
may wish to employ a std dev instead of a unit impulse, according
to Lutkepohl.H.  New Introduction to Multiple Time Series Analysis,
Springer, Chapter 2.
  -Cheers,
        Robert
